I have always believed that nothing can be too much, just about enough.
Take the matter of changing lights as an example. Many people once showed off to me how bright their headlights are. When they turn on the lights at night, the entire street is lit. They only have one criterion for judging the quality of vehicle lights: Be sure to ask that the person dodging cannot open his or her eyes.
I was thinking, why is this necessary?
Except for some models that are really very low-priced and companies have excessively reduced costs on headlights, most family cars currently priced at more than 80,000 have headlight brightness that can meet the needs of night travel.
Lenses and LED light sets have almost become standard equipment for ordinary family cars.
Even so, the first thing some people do when buying a car is to change the headlights to make them brighter and higher up. The cost of changing the headlights can easily reach thousands.
It is true that brighter headlights are better for driving at night. One is that they illuminate farther, and the other is that they illuminate brighter.
But everyone is only a participant in road safety. There will definitely be someone driving across from you. Safety is always relative. Taking care of your right of way with lights, but taking away the sight of the other side will inevitably reduce your own safety. coefficient.
Because you don’t know whether the car owner on the opposite side can still see the road clearly and whether he will come directly towards you. The most important thing is to leave a certain field of vision for the other party.
In order to pursue a brighter color temperature, many people require a color temperature of 6000k or even higher.
6000k can already dazzle the opposite side. It is indeed more visually stimulating, but the reflection effect is also very poor. It is acceptable at night when the weather is good, but if it rains, snows, or has haze, the lighting effect at night will be very poor.
Therefore, the fog lights of many models are yellow lights. On the one hand, the cost of yellow lights is indeed low, but from the perspective of the positioning of fog lights, yellow lights should be used, so that they can have stronger penetration in environments with low visibility. Penetration.
If even the fog lights are used as white high-brightness lights, then the effect of the fog lights will be greatly reduced.
The lighting system should be designed according to the situation. At present, new cars have been divided into functional areas. For example, there are always bright daytime running lights, which can remind oncoming cars during the day. There are lenses for both high and low beams, and the lights are focused and bright at the same time. It doesn't require too much power to use.
In addition, most fog lights are yellow lights, ensuring use in bad weather, and their strong penetration can make up for the weak reflection of high and low beams.
Some companies do pursue lighting effects, but most companies are also careful in their designs and will not design lights that are too bright. This is mainly because they take into account the driving needs of oncoming cars. If it is too bright, it will inevitably affect the view of the other side. , thus affecting your own driving safety.
Experienced and safety-conscious drivers often choose headlights with reasonable brightness to ensure focusing and a certain brightness, while retaining yellow fog lights and paying attention to the use of high and low beams when driving.
When there are no street lights, use high beam to illuminate the road farther away to leave enough distance for emergency evacuation. When there is an oncoming car, use low beam to protect the other party and yourself.
Taking a step back, if the opposite side also has extremely bright high beam lights, your own driving safety factor will also be reduced.
